You Belong With Me | Jeongcheol Fanfic

Chapter 61

The morning of Jeonghan and Seungcheol's wedding dawned with a gentle glow filtering through the New York skyline. The soft light hinted at the kind of day it would be—a day filled with love, memories, and the fulfillment of a long-awaited promise. Friends and family had flown in from Seoul and beyond, filling the city with the excitement and joy of reunion, all gathered to witness the union of two souls who had journeyed together through so much.

Jeonghan stood in a small dressing room at the venue, his reflection in the mirror almost unrecognizable with his elegant, ivory suit perfectly tailored to his frame. The room had been filled with a light floral fragrance from the bouquets around him, arrangements of lilies and soft greenery chosen for their simplicity and elegance. Subin, his sister, was by his side, smiling warmly as she watched him adjust his jacket, her eyes gleaming with pride.

"You look so grown up," she said softly, stepping forward with the boutonniere in her hand, a delicate piece of white flowers matching his suit.

Jeonghan chuckled nervously, his fingers fumbling slightly as he tried to straighten the cuffs of his shirt. "I know, it feels... strange. Good, but strange," he murmured. A subtle hint of nostalgia washed over him, and he couldn't help but think back to the years he and Seungcheol had spent together, piecing together the memories that had led them to this day.

Subin stepped closer, placing the boutonniere gently on his lapel. "There," she said, giving his shoulder a soft squeeze. "This is the day you two have been waiting for. I'm proud of you, Jeonghan. I know how much Seungcheol means to you, even if you don't remember every moment of the past." She paused, a tear in her eye. "I think, deep down, you always knew you'd end up here with him."

Jeonghan met her gaze, his eyes glistening, and nodded. "Thank you, Subin. I may not remember every detail, but I know... I know that I love him." He took a deep breath, his voice soft. "And today, I want to give him everything."

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Mingyu and Seokmin poked their heads in with wide grins. "Hey, look at the groom!" Mingyu said, eyes bright as he stepped in, Seokmin following right behind him. They both wore matching suits and carried a palpable excitement, their presence adding a burst of energy to the room.

They moved in to embrace Jeonghan, and Mingyu nudged him playfully. "You're really doing it. I can't believe you're getting married!"

Seokmin nodded, looking at him with admiration. "We're so happy for you, Jeonghan. You and Seungcheol... it's like you two were always meant to be."

Their words filled him with a warmth that settled the nerves he hadn't even realized were there. Jeonghan smiled, glancing at the friends who had been there through so many phases of his life, friends who were more like family. "Thank you, really. I wouldn't be here without all of you. Even if I don't remember every single story, just being here with you feels like home."

As they chatted, Subin, ever the practical one, urged them to finish getting ready. "We don't want the groom to be late to his own wedding!" she teased, glancing pointedly at the clock. With laughter echoing in the room, they helped Jeonghan with the final touches. His friends adjusted his jacket, brushed imaginary lint off his shoulders, and made him spin around for inspection, while Subin helped him with his shoes.

Meanwhile, in another part of the venue, Seungcheol was also preparing, though he was a bundle of excitement and nerves. Dressed in a classic black suit with a simple boutonniere, he took a moment to calm himself, breathing in deeply. He couldn't believe the day had finally come, the day he would say his vows to the love of his life. His friends were with him too—Soonyoung, Hansol, and Jisoo, all beaming and reminding him to stay calm.
